Recently picked up a 'real' macro lens for my camera after a few years of using extension tubes. I think this has been my favorite shot with that lens so far.
Pentax K5, Vivitar Series 1 105mm f2.5
joe... that macro is awesome... macro is such a neat area... never had the tools to really do it :-/... one day maybe
anyway today's submission... was at my brother in laws wedding a few months back... pic is of his best man and my bro-in-laws daughter out on the dance floor
canon 60d tamron 17-50 2.8, @ 50mm, 1/60, f/2.8, ISO400...

Nice shot. I so prefer the look of film to digital.
The GSN has a great lens, as your picture shows; the rest of the camera is a bit mediocre IMHO (I have one), and I do not like being forced into aperture priority. Great for a loaner, though, or to use at parties or in sketchy areas.

I love film, but hate integrating it in to a digital workflow. I'll get a good scanner eventually for my medium format work, but for now film (35mm at least) is for fun and snapshots.
The Yashica is great for kayaking because I don't care if it goes for a swim since it was cheap and easily replaced, and when I get the film developed I already have prints from the trip and get a CD for facebooking. I mostly shoot aperture priority anyway, so it's a plus for me.
This was a test shot of some dying moss done with my 1939 Argus A2F after I fixed the shutter and re-felted the lens Still have more work to do, but I am glad to have it working!
I may have had a bit too much fun this afternoon driving around Coralville, pulling over, and snapping photos. I figured out that my telephoto really likes f/8. I also set the white balance to Shade and exposure comp to -2/3 stops. I didn't tweak the color at all on my computer.
On the plus side, my photos are starting to have clear subjects now!
